Training a neural network induces a policy that performs well under a particular objective and data distribution.

The current approach to improving LLMs’ capabilities is to create a sufficiently diverse set of environments, train on all of them, and hope to obtain generality. This requires continuous human contribution and, unlike pre-training, doesn’t scale. I believe that training in an environment with other agents (i.e., social training) scales with the number of agents in the environment as they create additional complexity and require more intelligence without any human intervention. Thus, social training represents a more viable path to artificial general intelligence. Don’t get me wrong, what…
